This is the spirit we need. Since changing some basic parts (of anything) isn't a hard job if you can hold a screwdriver and have enough patience. With some references and instructions these kind of people is the end of this era of consuming. I trust that Jolla is fresh thinker enough to see this. Repair shops still have warranty service and customers that do want things done by professionals.

Undersigned has worked years in different kind of electronic and mechanic repair shops and hate to see good stuff thrown away because "so it's almost the price if I buy a new one".

Edit: In addition it's true that any company would like to see their products sold more because they are too expensive to repair by professional. But companies should see that they can sell spare parts directly to consumers with fair profit. Instead of the fact that repair shops and retail always want all parts cheaper to add their own profit and work expenses.

I once had an idea for a FrankenHalf: TOH which would basically be a "motherboard" for other components that you could stick in there: bigger storage, memory, accessories etc. That might be cool, and even doable from outside Jolla, who clearly have enough work as it is :)
